The Kinora camera was one of the earliest cameras for capturing motion aimed at the amateur. It used rolls of 1 inch (25.4mm) paper or celluloid film. The exposed negative films were sent to Kinora for processing and to be made into reels suitable for viewing in a Kinora viewer. The viewers were afforable, hand cranked domestic optical toys which presented a flick book like version of the film shot with the camera.
